I was going to suggest this to Tracy, to ease his load on the phone  calls. But I know how busy he is, so maybe we can create the  database. Everybody here once in a while comes against problem that  takes (sometimes) weeks to solve. If all that is reported with  simptoms and solutions found, maybe next time we can look it up there  before calling Tracy?
Latest example:
After getting my updated EC from Tracy I had hell of a time for  couple of months. Engine was hard to start, very rich, fouling plugs.  I returned it to Tracy and he found nothing wrong. One day after  starting it by using starting fluid, I noticed my MP reading stuck on  29.8. Ahaaa! Started looking and found a MP hose fitting  disconnected. The EC was reading full throttle and was dumping fuel  accordingly, plus the fuel press. regulator was increasing the FP.
If we had a Q&A type list maybe I would have found it much sooner?
What do you think?
Buly
